Is there any ChemTest you do daily if any?

NOT COUNTING STRIPS
 
If it were my responsibility, nothing would get tested daily but thank the reef gods for automated testing.
 
I'm just testing alkalinity daily. Usually at 8pm after I put the kids in bed.

But I will go a couple days without testing, minimum is usually twice a week of testing alk
 
Daily? Not a lot, but I do try to test salinity as often as needed
 
Not manually!

Salinity and PH are continuously monitored using the Neptune Apex (.. and a Seneye!).

Alk, Mag and Ca are tested several times every day using the Neptune Trident.

As for manual testing, only testing phosphates and nitrates once per week.
